PM Anutin, Bhumjaithai Party to submit charter rewrite draft tomorrow

13 Sept 12:53 Key points summarised by AI

The Bhumjaithai Party, led by Anutin Charnvirakul, will submit a constitutional amendment draft to pave the way for a new constitution.
The draft aims to amend Article 256, reflecting the wishes of 21 million people who voted for a new charter in a referendum.
It proposes the creation of a 100-member Constitution Drafting Assembly, with members selected by parliament from provincial applicants.
Crucially, the party will not touch Chapters 1 (fundamental provisions) and 2 (monarchy) of the current Constitution.
To prevent past failures, the draft reduces the required Senate votes for passage from one-third to one-quarter.
